Chapter 1901: Divorce plan
The person Lingyin likes must be a good person, so Xiaoqing is not on guard against Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Hearing Xiaoqing speaking for them, Wan Shufang felt a little moved and spoke softly.
"The people are pitiful, they are just being used by others. Miss Xiaoqing, please help keep an eye on the outside. If there is any news, tell us immediately." Before the manpower arrived, it was inconvenient for her and Chen Changli to show up, and there was no way to investigate anything.
Xiaoqing patted her chest and agreed immediately.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Her energetic appearance also infected the three people present. Everyone couldn't help but smile, not affected by the outside world at all. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
At this time, the Western Rong Kingdom.
When the King of Xirong received a bloody envelope, he frowned, thinking that someone was cheating him, so he ordered someone to open it.
A severed finger came into view, along with a letter. The subordinate opened the letter and his face changed drastically after reading it.
He was hesitant to speak, and his hesitant manner annoyed the King of Xirong. He glanced at him and said sternly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, it was Chen Changli. The letter said that Amir had offended Chen Changli, so he cut off a finger of Amir as a warning, saying... saying..."
The man didn't dare to say anything more. He knelt on the ground trembling, his whole body shaking.
"Tell me what he said." King Xirong smashed the cup, and the anger in his eyes grew stronger.
The fragments flew past his cheek, leaving a scar on the subordinate's face. Sensing that the King of Xirong was angry, he dared not disobey.
"Chen Changli said, warn Xirong to be honest and stop committing crimes again, otherwise the next time, it won't be as simple as cutting off a finger!"
After saying this, the subordinate immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. Chen Changli hurriedly wrote down such disrespectful words, as he really didn't dare to read them.
King Xirong snatched the letter. The more he read, the uglier his expression became. Although he was angry, he still had his reason. He was worried that there was a trick, so he ordered in a cold voice: "Call Amir's personal maid immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Amir's maid was brought up and he threw the severed finger to her.
"Take a good look, is this your master's?"
"I obey your command." The maidservant did not dare to disobey the order. She picked up the severed finger and examined it carefully, not daring to miss any details. In just a moment, her eyes widened and she said, "Your Majesty, this is the finger of Lord Amir."
"Amir-sama's hand was injured while practicing swordplay. What a coincidence that the injury was on this finger."
Back then, Amir thought that the sword wound was an honor and refused to treat it. He even deliberately left a scar, which allowed the maid who had served him for many years to recognize him at a glance.
Upon hearing this, the King of Xirong became furious. He slammed the table hard, and the fire in his eyes almost burst out.
"Damn it, Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, how dare you humiliate me, Xirong!"
He thought it was a misunderstanding and was worried that he was instigated by a villain, so he asked the maid to verify it. Unexpectedly, the severed finger was actually Amir's.
"What they cut off was not Amir's finger, but the friendship between Xirong and Dayong."
King Xirong snorted coldly with an unfriendly look on his face. He stood up, his gray robe brushed across the table, and he took a step forward and walked outside.
"Gather all the troops immediately and go to the border of Dayong. I want to ask the Emperor of Dayong what they mean by this."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The subordinates hurriedly made arrangements, and that afternoon, the King of Xirong led his army to set off. When the Xirong army arrived outside the border city, the news was also passed back to Yongzhou City.
Upon learning that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had cut off Amir's fingers and sent them back to Xirong, humiliating the Xirong king, which led to the Xirong king personally leading his troops to attack the city to demand an explanation, the emperor immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Changli wouldn't do that. Could something have happened to them?" The emperor's face suddenly changed. He naturally didn't believe that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang would do such a thing.
The only explanation is that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also got into trouble and could not protect themselves, which led to the injury of Amir and the provocation of relations between the two countries.
After thinking everything through, he shouted loudly outside the temple.
"Somebody come!"
The chief eunuch hurried in and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
"Send someone to investigate immediately to see where Chen Changli and the others have gone. Make sure they are safe."
"Yes, slaves follow the order."
Watching the eunuch take orders and leave, the emperor's face was full of worry. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. The imperial study became quiet again.
At the same time, in Qingcheng.
The signal that Chen Changli had sent out earlier had also been received by the secret guards he left behind. A team of people sneaked into Qingcheng quietly to look for Chen Changli.
Xiaoqing happened to see them and immediately brought the news back.
"Are you serious?" Wan Shufang showed a hint of joy on her face. After so many days, they finally had a breakthrough. Chen Changli also took out his token and handed it to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, it is inconvenient for us to come forward."
"Take the token and have them go to the governor's mansion to investigate first. If there is anything, they can come back and report. Once they find some clues, there will be a breakthrough."
Hearing this, Xiaoqing took the token and subconsciously glanced at Lingyin. She was Lingyin's maid, so naturally she had to obey Lingyin's orders.
Meeting the little girl's eyes, Lingyin nodded gently: "Xiaoqing, we will be too conspicuous if we go out, so we can only rely on you."
"Okay, my lady, don't worry, I will definitely get it done." Xiao Qing put away the token, took a step, turned around and walked out. With Xiao Qing as a bridge, Chen Changli and the secret guard were able to communicate successfully.
After receiving Chen Changli's order, the secret guards did not delay and went to the prefectural mansion to investigate that night.
At that time, the prefectural governor's mansion was in chaos, with several beautiful women fighting each other.
"This is mine. Before the master disappeared, he clearly promised to give her to me as a reward."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't given me the reward yet. I've been in the mansion longer than you, so it should be mine."
"Bah, old witch!"
The two women refused to give in to each other and continued to fight. The battle was comparable to a battlefield, which stunned the secret guards. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before they came, they had already found out the current situation of the prefect's mansion, but they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. That guy was a lustful hypocrite with many wives and concubines in his mansion.
Because the prefect had disappeared for several days and had not returned, the women felt something was wrong. They waited patiently for three days, but he still did not come back, so they could no longer sit still and began to fight over the family property.
From the initial sarcasm to the current fight, only one day had passed.
"Don't just watch the fun. While they are in chaos, let's go find what the master wants first."
The leader of the secret guards spoke, and the other secret guards withdrew their thoughts and agreed. Taking advantage of the chaos, several of them sneaked into the mansion and went straight to the prefect's study.
